The LA Rams don’t have a first-round pick in this draft, thanks to the blockbuster trade to acquire Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. In fact, they are projected to extend this seven-year abstinence through 2023. The Rams have not enjoyed the benefit of picking on day one of the NFL Draft dating back to 2017. If you recall, that was the result of the trade they made in 2016 to acquire the rights to the first pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, which the team used to select quarterback Jared Goff.
